U.S. unemployment is down, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is out, and and the world lost a music legend with the passing of brilliant Beastie Boy, Adam Yauch, aka MCA. On SMITH, your Six-Word Memoirs this week reflected a community with quite singular lives yet much commonality as you reacted to and cheered on your fellow memoirists. As befitting a passionate crowd that never fails to surprise (and occasionally disgust), one of the most commented Six-Word Memoirs of the week was a response to these six words: “I’m sixting from toilet at CrackerBarrel.” ‘Nuff said.
